Abstract

Before initiating anticoagulant prophylaxis in patients with malignant tumors, who are undergoing palliative chemotherapy, the risk of thromboembolic complications should be evaluated with the Khorany model and based on the presence of other risk factors for venous thromboembolism. In high-risk patients, there’s should be given consideration to the inclusion of anticoagulant prophylaxis.
